Fri 24th Sept: Noel Stewart for Gemma Slack

Facebook is a brilliant medium for staying in touch with what everyone is up to at an instant glance. I spied a snap of a cute puppy on Noel Stewart's status and recognised the perky pug to be the infamous Ramone belonging to Gemma Slack. Noel had been visiting Gemma working on the millinery for her S/S collection and now I have stumbled across his photos from the look book shoot ..........I love this beautiful billowing soft silhouette of a headscarf draped over Noel's large gold rim straw sun hat. The pastel organza and silk is printed with a collage of female nudes to add a palette of pinks and purples to her predominantly black line. The design has come about thru a collaboration with photographer Kristin Vicari who shot bruised skin for the thematic print. I'm getting really excited about more designers branching out with inclusion of millinery to accessorize their outfits! Woo Hoo! To have a look at these tip top hats, track down Gemma's showroom in Paris.........The Basement at Vauxhall Fashion Scout, Galerie Odile Ouizeman 10/12 Rue Des Coutures, Saint-Gervais, 75003 Paris Thursday 30th September - Tuesday 5th October.appointments: sales@gemmaslack.com

Running Rainbow

Its A London Thing

My book out on September 19th

'Multi-talented Fred Butler is quite the east London renaissance girl, with fingers in so many creative pies that they're difficult to tick off.

Of course, there are the splendidly exuberant accessories, wearable sculptures whose sparkle has attracted fashion magpies such as Gaga, Bjork and Nicki Minaj. But there is also custom made prop styling, art directing and film making.
